A man who was on parole was arrested at his home in east Athens on Tuesday because he was wanted as a fugitive in Missouri, authorities said.
Gilbert Vasser Sr., 40, was taken into custody by sheriff’s deputies on a warrant charging him with aggravated stalking that is held by the Metropolitan Police Department in St. Louis, according to Capt. Hayden Hodges, spokesman for the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office.
Vasser, whose current address is on Fourth Street in Athens, was once convicted for armed robbery in St. Louis, according to published reports.
